A Look at Beauty's Most Visually-Appealing Products

Who doesn’t love a well-designed beauty accessory? Here are all the products that have caught our eye this season.

DIOR CUSHION POWDER MILLEFIORI MISS DIOR, $108, AND DIOR ADDICT MISS DIOR CASE, $43. Exemplified by the house’s new cushion powder foundation and Dior Addict lipstick case — a sweet set that’s equal parts delicate and feminine — the aesthetic codes of Miss Dior dominate the new Miss Dior Millefiori Boutique range, which features an exclusive floral art packaging designed by the Maison’s Creative Director Maria Grazia Chiuri.

Sometimes, it’s not wrong to judge a book by its cover, especially if you’re intending to curate an aesthetically pleasing beauty collection. Although the efficacy of a makeup or skincare product remains a pivotal deciding factor when it comes to purchasing a product, it doesn’t hurt to consider the accessory’s visual appeal too. This October, we take a look at some of the brands that have put added thought into beautifying their cases.

CHANEL BEAUTY LES 4 OMBRES TWEED EYE COLLECTION, $135. Crafted by Maison Lesage as part of the house’s Métiers d’art range, the Les 4 Ombres Tweed features four limited-edition mini garments to dress four Fall-inspired eyeshadow palettes.The collection honours Gabrielle Chanel’s first tweed creations, launched nearly a century ago, for introducing a disruptive pattern to the elegant, modern Chanel woman.

GUCCI ROUGE DE BEAUTÉ BRILLIANT FLORA, $60. Part of the Gucci Flora Fantasy range, and beloved by stars like Miley Cyrus, the limited-edition balm-in-lipstick displays its distinctive Flora pattern on a narrow tube. Infused with moisturising black rose and peony oils, jojoba seed oil, karité butter, and hyaluronic acid for a plumping effect, this collector’s piece is a valuable addition to your assortment of lipsticks.

PACO RABANNE FAME, $162 FOR 50ML AND $205 FOR 80ML. Here’s a statement piece that’s born to be displayed. With The Great’s Elle Fanning as the face of the Parisian fragrance, Fame embodies the very essence of femininity. Decked out in an edgy silver-tone chainmail dress further embellished with gold-tone details, the bottle not only holds a thrilling scent, it also doubles as an object of desire.

GUERLAIN BUTTERFLY COLLECTION, $53 FOR THE ROUGE G LUXURIOUS VELVET METAL AND $49 FOR THE BUTTERFLY CASES. Mix and match your Rouge G Luxurious Velvet Metal lipsticks with Guerlain’s new range of butterfly collector cases.

CLÉ DE PEAU BEAUTÉ THE SERUM, $270 FOR 30ML AND $380 FOR 50ML. Designed by French illustrator duo Marie Pommepuy and Sébastien Cosset, known collectively as Kerascoët, this bottle — just one of the well-thought-out designs from Clé de Peau Beauté’s Key Radiance Care range — employs flowers, plants, and curved lines in decorating Clé de Peau Beauté’s regenerative serum for the brand’s 40th anniversary.
